Maybe he was just exercising his unrestricted 2nd amendment rights as he perceives them.

I bet you're not nearly as upset about the hundreds of people wanting to "hang Mike Pence" and a President who expressed his approval of this murderous sentiment against his own VP.

You'd lose that bet.

So this is not about the perp and his motive? This is about the gun? Fascinating.

Was it also about the gun in the case of James Hodgkinson?

Would the perp be as seriously considered if he was wielding a bat seeing as how Don Jr. maintains it would have been just as lethal?

In the proper hands, a bat is not lethal. In the wrong hands, it's as lethal as any firearm.

Of course, it's not illegal to carry a baseball bat. However, if someone posts on social media that they plan to beat a SCOTUS judge to death, and they're intercepted in the SCOTUS judge's neighborhood with a baseball bat, it would certainly be newsworthy and the individual could face prosecution for it.

An AR-15's round can penetrate 3/8" of steel at 400 meters 45 times in one minute. I don't know of any baseball bat that can do that.

I'm wondering why you didn't post about a gunman who actually did kill a judge last week in Wisconsin and who had your own Governor on a hit list. Might it be because you're trying to (falsely) demonstrate that armed left wing nuts are as threatening or killing as many people as armed right wing nuts? Typical right wing projection/whataboutism.

The far right terrorist threat dwarfs that of the far left. Indeed, this is the America that conservatives have been advocating for decades - one in which armed citizens confront whatever they deem to be "tyranny." Even after all of the recent mass murders, 44% of Republicans told pollsters that mass shootings should be accepted as part of a free society.

Thank you. Also the express purpose of a bat is not to maim & kill human bodies.
